Hello! I'm new to mumsnet and am having trouble deciphering some of the shorthand used in threads ...DP, CS, DH, DD (ok, surely that's Due Date?!)...and I'm sure I've seen others too! Anyone able to dispel the mystery please?!! Thanks

What is naice?

icklekid · 15/04/2014 20:41

I thought ds2 was a 2nd son not a reflection of his age?

GingerRodgers · 15/04/2014 21:35

Oops sorry meant second son 3 years old need to learn to proof read messages Blush

Naice originated from a shopping list (I think!) someone found that listed nice ham, as opposed to what I've no idea. Think it means 'posh' on here.

AF = Aunt Flo = your period

FarToGo · 15/04/2014 21:48

In my world AF means Atrial Fibrillation, on here it means your period....
